The Lenovo K6 was launched in India last month, and this is one more addition to the Lenovo devices in the 10k segment. The company launched a lot of K6 devices this year. It is one of the first phones available by Lenovo in offline mediums. The smartphone is known as Lenovo K6 Note.

Lenovo K6 Note will be offered in the retail stores at a price of 15k. It comes with a pretty nice display and specs for a phone of a 15k price. For the virtual reality feature, the company is also promoting the TheaterMax technology and also the Dolby Atmos speaker on the K6.

Lenovo K6 Note display and design

The Lenovo K6 Note is 5.5 inches on the screen, and it is 170 grams in weight. It feels quite heavy in hand. The design is a complete metallic body, but the rear side is a bit slippery. There are capacitive navigation buttons just below the display. The volume buttons and the power buttons are on the side. The capacitive buttons do not come with backlighting. Two gold lines are present at the top and bottom of the phone. The display is full HD with 1080*1920p IPS. No corning gorilla glass is there. The bigger screen makes it more fun to watch videos.

Specifications and features

The Lenovo K6 note has got pretty decent specifications. It has got the Snapdragon 430 Quad core 1.4 GHz processor. Now this processor is pretty common these days. So, in 15K price, we expected a bit higher end processor for this device. There are two variants of Lenovo K6 Note. One comes with 3GB RAM, and 32GB of internal storage and the other option comes with a 4GB RAM with 64GB of storage.

The 3GB version has hit the market first. And the second version will be available soon. The smartphone comes with expandable storage facility with micro SD card up to 128GB. The specifications are pretty good and offer smooth performance. For daily usage, there is no lag issue while multitasking, flipping through different apps or high-end games.

Camera and Connectivity

The smartphone comes with a 16MP primary camera along with the PDAF feature. If has got the dual LED flash. At the front, the Lenovo K6 Note has got the 8MP secondary camera. For the connectivity features, it has got the 4G LTE facility, Wi-Fi 802 b/g/n Bluetooth 4.1 and also the GPS service. The K6 Note also comes with an accelerometer, gyroscope, a proximity sensor and also a digital compass.

The camera does good work when taking casual everyday shots. The 16MP sensor quickly locks focus and the smart composition tool helps you in different situations. But you can turn it off on camera settings. The apps offer different features like Nightscape, HDR, Fast Motion and Slow Motion. But if the app could support the Gifs that is provided by Gionee devices, then it would be great. The camera interface is good to use, and the low light shots are impressive. The selfies are average, not too impressive.

Operating system

Speaking of the software facilities, the Lenovo K6 Note comes with Android Marshmallows along with Lenovo Vibe UI. The software features also include the app lock service, and it allows the users to lock any app with a fingerprint. The dual App mode lets the app users have two Whatsapp accounts on the same phone.

The fingerprint snap allows the fingerprint sensor button to act as the alternative shutter button. The Vibe Pure UI is smooth, and it comes with the minimum amount of bloatware. The fingerprint at the back is pretty quick, and it can unlock the device even when it is on standby.

Battery

The battery is pretty decent with 13hours and 0 minutes playback time in HD video loop test. It supports the fast charging facility.In 30 minutes the device can be charged up to 50%, and in 100 minutes the device is fully charged.

Add-ons

The Lenovo K6 Note comes with the TheaterMax technology and also the ANT VR headset. This headset allows users to experience an entirely different level of entertainment for movies, games and any other content with the 100-degree field of view. It is almost equal to the cinematic experience. But users need to buy the ANT VR headset separately from Amazon India. The team of TNI tested the ANT VR headset, and it will work as intended. When you long press the power button, you can enable the VR mode. The dual Dolby Atmos speakers make a significant enhancement to the specs, but the bundled headphones are below average.

Final verdict

The Lenovo K6 Note offers a larger screen, smooth performance, pretty good specs (could have been better), basic VR experience with affordable AR headset and also the build quality is also good. Overall it is a good phone for regular use. The phone starts at a price if 14K and it will compete with Moto G4 plus and Xiaomi Redmi Note 3.
